Abstract
Laser micromanipulation systems are used worldwide in the field of life science research. Most of their applications focus on the isolation of specific cells from different types of tissue and the manipulation of subcellular structures within fixed or living cells. Using the PALM MicroBeam, it is possible to microdissect living cells from a cell culture, to catapult them into collection devices, and to re-cultivate the isolated cells. For this purpose, new protocols and special equipment were developed. It has also been demonstrated that Laser Microdissection and Pressure Catapulting (LMPC) have no influence on the proliferation rate of the cells. Even re-cultivated cell colonies, trypsinized and seeded out again, are still viable after a second LMPC-procedure. This new approach opens a wide field of interesting applications in cell biology, molecular pathology, and pharmacology.
